Show me the absurd side of Twiter

April 3, 2020 7:23 AM

OK, so People dancing to Steely Dan hit me the right way--silly, witty, a little absurd. (Soviet Soldiers Dancing isn't quite as good for me, but has the right idea.) Which other Twitter accounts will hit the sweet spot of ridiculous pairings that make me bark-laugh? Need not be dancing--just amusing juxtapositions of any kind. (Other styles of silliness welcome. If it makes you cackle, share, please.)

Best answer: It's just a single thread, but this account of the absurd havoc wreaked by snails who love to fuck made my week. Completely work-safe.

Aw, Nick Heath is great, but my absolute favorite is this one that he retweeted from Andrew Cotter.

Oh my God, yes.

And Look a bit dodgy solo seems right out of the Python playbook.
